Axel – Greeting at the Gate

Photo by Kelly Godfrey

While the pups are becoming socialized to the humans, it is important that they maintain a bond with the adults.  Pups not only have access to the adults in the wolf yard during the day, but also have access to the adults in the Pack Holding Area throughout the night.  Most of the contact is dominated by Luna, but Boltz gets has several greetings a night as well.  Axel is the most comfortable with these greetings and shows the appropriate submissive ear response when greeting his future packmate.
